Notes: Reprint. Ex-Library. Hardcover. Bound in orange/red cloth. Decorative red lettering on cover and spine. This searching analysis of the Book of Nahum is the result of ten years of diligent research by an accomplished Hebrew scholar. It is one of the most thorough commentaries written in recent times, representing the highest standards in the tradition of evangelical Bible commentaries. The author, himself a modern-day prophet, accepted the Masoretic text of Nahum as essentially authentic and exegeted it accordingly. He frequently pointed out the inadequacy of the liberal higher-critical approach by pitting the various reconstructions of the text against each other. Walter A. Maier (1893-1950), professor of semitic languages and Old Testament at Concordia Seminary for twenty-eight years, held a Ph.D. degree from Harvard University. 386 pp.
